: I've owned a Mexican Strat since they first came out (in about 1993). It is definately my main guitar. I like the sound and feel of it just as much as an American Strat; for me the extra cost isn't justified. My advice is to try them both out on the exact amp they will be played through, and buy the one that sounds best and feels best for you. Or, you can buy the Mexican sunburst with a blonde neck and be perfectly happy.
i have one and i worked it over for just a couple hundred bucks and it'll blow out any off the shelf american strat any day.
i hollowed out all the extra wood under the pick guard and the sustain and tone are at least 50 to 75% better and clearer.
i glued copper to the cavity to keep down noise and feedback.
i went to a fixed hot rod bridge, no tremlo.
i put in a set of kinman's
i only have a single volume control, a single tone
control and a 3 way switch, not 5 way.
i play blues leads, texas roadhouse leads, and rythm.
each pick up performs one task by its self, no blending of pick ups.
the kinmans are crystal clear and crisp. you can hear every note even when playing rythm. its amazing.
half the cost of an american strat, better sound, cleaner and crisper sound.
Dear David.,
Here is another thing I just remembered. There is a PC board towards the rear of the amp. It has the Effect Loop Jacks and other stuff mounted to it. Here is a good way to find the problem. Turn the amp on. Wait 20 minutes, have some play the guitar for you while you do the following. Take a thin piece of plastic or wood, NOT METAL!!!!. Then while your friend plays at low volume, slide the then piece of wood or plasic into the back most vent slot at the top of the amp. If you look through it, you will see the edge of the PC board I'm talking about. So, as someone is playing, lightly tap the board in many places. When you hear the sound cut out, STOP! Remember where you tapped when it cut out. Then tap else where on the board. If the sound returns, then you have to open the amp, remove the little PC board, and cut off the little 3 pin plugs. Do this one at a time. Then solder each wire to the board. I would also do this at the other end of the cable on the main PC board. This is why modern amps suck. PC Boards are good for computers, and other devices that does not have to go on the road, heat up, have 600 Volts running throught it, and vibrate.
Good luck

SERIOUS DRUMMER NEEDED! Must be deticated to making it huge in music. Must be very talented, good with off times and multiple changes. We are a seriously melodic and catchy metal band with experimental elements and killer hooks. WE WILL SUCCEED IN MUSIC.
Influences: Led Zepplin, Seattle bands (AliceNchains/stp/nirv./Pjam etc.), tool, metallica, a perfect circle, SOAD Etc.

The ONLY way to get one is to BUY a Jackson guitar that has the Floyd sustainer installed already.
They call them Jackson sustainers now, but they are just relabled OEM Floyd Rose systems.
Jackson will not sell it to anyone unless purchased with a guitar. Trust me... I've tried.

I have a Frederica Garcia #3 Concert Guitar. The back and sides are African Mahogany. The top is made of Alps Spruce, fingerboard is Ebony. It is in MINT condition and I mean MINT. My father purchased the guitar on May 3rd, 1970. I still have the receipt.
I was curious if anyone could give me a pretty accurate value on this instrument? Or is there a place online where I can find out?
